What are the best FIFA songs ever? We know you have one in the back of your mind – even if you've never played the game. The FIFA and EA Sports FC soundtracks have taken on lives of themselves – helping to promote new artists, helping to share old songs with new audiences and giving us pure bangers in the screentime between matches. So let's run through our 100 favourites over the years – sorted partly by how much of a banger these tracks were, how iconic they were for the soundtrack, but also how well they fitted into the game itself.
We asked our team for their favourites, collated the answers and even got a couple of FIFA experts involved, too. What you'll find is the ultimate list that will bring back huge nostalgia. This is about as close to NME as you'll ever find us going, so feel free to tell us how bad our music taste is @FourFourTwo .
The 100 best FIFA songs ever: 100. Glass Animals - Youth (FIFA 17) Glass Animals were always on the cusp of becoming a really big band, depending on how poppy their next single was – think Kevin Strootman, waiting for a Premier League move. Luckily though, the group have always kept it cool and delivered banger after banger that don’t sell out.
Youth is one such cut from FIFA 17. Watch Youth on YouTube / Listen on Spotify 99. Radiohead - Myxamatosis (FIFA 2004) Right, let’s be honest: Radiohead in a FIFA game is weird, particularly Hail To The Thief -era Radiohead.
It doesn’t feel like the kind of thing they would do, and.
